Now that the Actress competition is winding down, it's time for the next one up: The Greatest Musical ACTOR of this generation!

To qualify, any actor must:
1. have been born after 1960
2. have starred (lead/featured) in a musical on Broadway

Starting right now and ending on May 2nd at 10:00 AM EST will be the qualifier matches. Here's how we'll choose who ends up in the bracket.

I will start us off with three actors with 1 vote each:

Michael Cerveris - 1
Raul Esparza - 1
Norbert Leo Butz - 1

On each turn (only once) you will copy and paste the list above you. You may

a)Add two actors to the list
and
b)Add two votes to their tallies.

So, the next post might look like:

Michael Cerveris - 2
Raul Esparza - 1
Norbert Leo Butz - 2
Hunter Foster - 1
Roger Bart - 1

Once an actor has received 4 VOTES, they have made it into the bracket and they're finished here. DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY ACTOR THAT ALREADY HAS 4 VOTES.

And I repeat here,

DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY ACTOR THAT HAS 4 VOTES!!!!!!!!
CHECK THE AGES BEFOREHAND TO SEE IF YOUR ADDITION QUALIFIES!!!!!!!!
NO SUBTRACTING VOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!

And with that, we begin our bracket. We'll start with:

Michael Cerveris - 1
Raul Esparza - 1
Norbert Leo Butz - 1

me too, but they didn't register:
John Gallagher Jr.-1
Michael Arden-1
Jonathon Groff-1

Neil Patrick Harris is a great contender.
